GT86 Driven: Pistonheads

And it depends on the track. Our Hockenheimring would kill the brake after 5 laps on a hot summer day. Even a Cooper S with stock brake cooling but just 1 piston brakes and small brake discs got a stuck piston(!) after some laps.

In my opinion the GT86 is just the base model of a growing model line and doesn't need to be capable of sustain a track day because it's made for sporty driving on public roads. This is important to know because some people are eating every bit the Toyota marketing throws out.

TRD is already offering better brakes for FSR/GT86, so you can upgrade them in your toyota dealer. I never been in hochenheim, but isn't it that kind of track which rape all standard road cars brakes? Very demanding, genuine motorsport track with lots of history. :happy0180:
